If there's anything our culture likes to collectively ignore, resist and hide, it's aging. And yet, aging happens to every single one of us - whether it's aging parents, aging partners or aging selves, we all have an experience with it. With age comes the opportunity for nourishment and deeper learning, but aging also comes with some unpleasant emotions and experiences. Cognitive and physical decline and even loss are all parts of the process of getting older. How do we learn to treat these things as a learning adventure? How do we deal with loved ones becoming shadows of their former selves? Instead of resisting the things that come with aging, embracing them makes life richer. The skill of learning to be with unpleasant experiences and emotions is one we can learn at any point in our lives, and it certainly comes in handy when we're getting older. How do we build this skill? What are the gifts of aging? In this episode, we're joined by couples therapist, relationship coach, author, speaker, college professor, trainer, and founding teacher of the Getting Real work, Dr. Susan Campbell. She shares how we can be more prepared for unwanted changes and why that can be an enriching experience. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Use everything that happens for learning When it comes to aging, most people want to resist or ignore what happens. Why do we need to allow what is to be there? -The loop of awareness Unpleasant interactions don't just throw you out of connection with your loved one, they also affect your connection with yourself. How do you find yourself again? -Embrace, don't erase How do we approach the aging population? How do we avoid making assumptions about their reality? Guest Bio Dr. Susan Campbell is a couples therapist, relationship coach, author, speaker, workshop leader, trainer, college professor, certified Radical Honesty trainer, and founding teacher of the Getting Real work.

"The greatest gift anyone can give you is their own death". Author Rondi Lightmark's grieving for her deceased husband Jim, led to direct communications with him. This communication fostered major psychological and spiritual developments in her and most profoundly, the ability to receive Jim's love as well as to continue loving him. Grieving involves body, 'who am I without Jim" and spiritual. The body aches and needs direct care. Rhondi knows Jim is still with her as are other deceased persons. Her spiritual seeking has led her to a vastly greater realm which she experiences and knows she is a part. Rondi has a Masters in psychology from Saybrook Graduate School with an emphasis on consciousness research—some of her professors were Stanley Krippner, Ruth Inge-Heinze and Eugene Taylor, and David Feinstein. She is also certified in the family systems therapy of Bert Hellinger. She encourages you to connect with her teachers through the links in her bio in this post. Her 2023 memoir about the loss of her husband won a Nautilus book award. It includes how her dream of becoming a writer was realized in connection with an extraordinary event in her home. This occurred on her return from a workshop with the spiritual philosopher David Spangler. Key influences in Rondi Lightmark's life include the philosophy of the Austrian spiritual scientist, Rudolf Steiner, and her time working as a writer in the spiritual education communities Omega Institute and Esalen Institute. https://www.amazon.com/Difference-Bet...https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Obedien...https://www.rondilightmark.comhttps://www.wholevashonproject.org Teachers: Rudolf Steiner https://www.rudolfsteiner.org/ Stanley Krippner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Krippner Ruth-Inge Heinze: https://occult-world.com/heinz-ruth-inge/ Eugene Taylor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Taylor_(psychologist)t David Feinstein: https://energymedicineuniversity.org/faculty/feinstein.html Bert Hellinger: https://www.hellinger.com/en/family-constellation/ David Spangler: https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/explorations/teachers/view/125/david-spangler Bernard D.

Chris Ryan's work has been translated into over twenty languages, and appeared just about everywhere, including Netflix, HBO, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, National Geographic, and More… Chris has been a featured speaker at TED, SXSW, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House and is a frequent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, the Duncan Trussell Family Hour, and many other podcasts. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships with Cacilda Jethá, MD in 2010, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at very odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Chris decided to get a little serious and pursue doctoral studies in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA, using his dissertation to examine Darwin's rather naive understanding of human sexual evolution — providing the core arguments later advanced in Sex at Dawn. Chris's latest book, Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress asks whether civilization has been a net benefit to our species. He hosts a weekly podcast, Tangentially Speaking, often recorded from the road while traveling in his van. The podcast features conversations with comics, bank robbers, drug smugglers, porn stars, authors, and an occasional rattlesnake expert. #ChrisRyan #BestsellerAuthor #SexAtDawn #CivilizedToDeath #GlobalExplorer #ThoughtLeader #Psychoanalysis #DiverseConversations #CulturalObserver | CHRIS RYAN | SUBSTACK - https://substack.com/@dudeinhammock WEBSITE - https://chrisryanphd.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/thatchrisryan X - https://twitter.com/ThatChrisRyan FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/chrisryanphd/ BOOKS - https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= & https://www.amazon.com/Civilized-Death-What-Lost-Modernity/dp/1451659105/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1702656704&sr=8-1 Join Host

After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York's Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology.Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris' most recent book is Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy.

I’m so beyond excited to be back and to introduce you to our two incredible guests Dr. Robert Hieronimus and Laura Cortner, the authors of “IT’S ALL IN THE MIND: Inside The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine vol.2. Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D., has been on a mission since 1968 to discover the hidden reality behind The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine. His 2002 book, co-authored with Laura E. Cortner, Inside the Yellow Submarine, was called “an indispensable companion to the movie” (Animation World), and he has lectured on the subject around the world including at Abbey Road in London. In 1969 Hieronimus founded AUM, the first state-approved school of esoteric studies in the country. He received his Ph.D. from Saybrook Graduate School in 1981, and his doctoral research on the symbolism of the Reverse of the Great Seal of the United States has been used by the White House, State Department, Department of the Interior, and published in the Congressional Record. He is interviewed frequently on the History Channel, Discovery, Nat Geo, BBC, etc. His radio interview program, 21st Century Radio®, exploring consciousness and alternate realities, has been on the air since 1988, the longest-running of its kind. Laura E. Cortner has collaborated with Dr. Bob Hieronimus on several books that have been translated into Japanese, German, French, Russian, and Spanish. Also writing partner and editor for Dr. Zohara Hieronimus and 21st Century Radio®, where she serves as Executive Producer, Cortner graduated with honors from Goucher College in Maryland, where she majored in English and Spanish. She also administrates the Ruscombe Mansion Community Health Center in Baltimore Maryland, the oldest holistic facility on the East Coast. In addition to Inside the Yellow Submarine (2002), Cortner and Hieronimus co-authored Founding Fathers, Secret Societies (2006), United Symbolism of America (2008) and most recently Secret Life of Lady Liberty: Goddess in the New World (2016), an historical and symbolic analysis of the Statue of Liberty from feminist and Native American perspectives.
Christopher and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including: MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside, El Pais, La Vanguardia, Salon, Seed, and Big Think. A featured speaker from TED in Long Beach, CA to The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House to the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam, Germany, Chris has consulted at various hospitals in Spain, provided expert testimony in a Canadian constitutional hearing, and appeared in well over a dozen documentary films. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York’s Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris recently finished a new book for Simon and Schuster called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy, and he puts out a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to plasma physicists.

My guest today aligns with my mission for authenticity and Being Human, Jeff Brown. Born in Toronto, Canada, Jeff Brown did all the things he was supposed to do to become successful in the eyes of the world. He was on the Dean's Honor List as an undergraduate. He won the Law and Medicine prize in law school. He apprenticed with top criminal lawyer Eddie Greenspan. It had been Brown's lifelong dream to practice criminal law and search for the truth in the courtroom. But then, on the verge of opening a law practice, he heard a little voice inside telling him to stop, just stop. With great difficulty, he honored this voice and began a heartfelt quest for the truth that lived within him. Although he didn't realize it at the time, Brown was actually questing for his innate image, the essential being that he came into this lifetime to embody. He was searching for his authentic face. As part of his journey, Brown surrendered to his confusion and explored many possible paths. He studied Bioenergetics and did session work with co-founder Alexander Lowen. He practiced as a body-centered psychotherapist. He completed an MA in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco and co-founded the Open Heart Gang, a benevolent gang with a heartfelt intention. He started his own business and became a successful entrepreneur. In this episode we discuss: Why the inner work is the most important work that he's done Is spiritual bypassing a necessary part of the process? Why self-avoidance masquerading as "enlightenment" is causing people to commit suicide Say hi on socials!
Anabela Cardoso is my guest this week. We discuss her book 'Electronic Contact with the Dead: What do the Voices Tell Us?' Anabela is a linguist and a senior Portuguese career diplomat since 1976, Dr. Cardoso was the first woman to hold a diplomatic post outside her country. A former member of the SPR, Dr. Cardoso's long-standing interest in questions related to consciousness research led her to start experimenting with ITC (Instrumental Transcommunication). In 2000 Dr. Cardoso founded the ITC Journal which has an Editorial Board of internationally recognised scientists and researchers of anomalous phenomena. Dr. Cardoso is a regular contributor to the Journal and to other international psychical research publications and has given presentations on ITC and her work internationally. In the year 2005 Dr. Cardoso founded the ITC Journal Research Centre, in Spain, where she currently lives. In 2007 and 2008 she was invited to present research projects on ITC phenomena and was awarded grants by two international institutions – an important medical research foundation (which prefers for the present to remain anonymous) and the Chair for the Study of Consciousness at Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. The report on the important study and its results was published in Neuroquantology, September 2012 (see another section in this website). Licentiate in Germanic Philology, Faculty of Letters, Lisbon University, Portugal and Doctor of Public Service (Honoris Causa) by Roger Williams University, Bristol, R. I., USA. Electronic Contact with the Dead: What do the Voices Tell Us? is the culmination of twenty years of research into Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC), by Anabela Cardoso, a career diplomat and the editor of itcjournal.org. ITC is the phenomena whereby allegedly deceased communicators relay messages and images to the living via radio equipment, televisions, computers, answerphones and other recording devices. In this second work the author presents the reader with an abundance of dialogue with those who have gone before us. Subjects discussed include time, space, the nature of life, the group soul, reincarnation, God, life, and much more. One communicator informs us, “You live in the space of an illusion that we call time”. Another adds, “The object of an earthly life is not just the goodness. The object is to be conscious”. https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Contact-Dead-What-Voices/dp/1786770253/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=anabela+cardoso&qid=1558905981&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York’s Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris is finishing a new book for Simon and Schuster tentatively called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy, due out in 2017—and he puts out a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to plasma physicists.

It's a cross-over podcast explosion! Homebrewed Christianity + LectioCast = zesty nerdiness! In the CLOBBERCAST we tackle all the clobber passages some Christians use against the LGBTQ members of the church. Not only do we end up discussing the pastoral consequences and personal tensions connected to the larger conversation, but Rev. Mixon and Daniel share their own personal and powerful stories. Tripp and Daniel are joined by Pastor Rick Mixon from the First Baptist Church, Palo Alto. Rick has been Senior Pastor of FBC Palo Alto since 2006. Rick Mixon has been serving as an openly gay pastor in the American Baptist church for decades. He brings a barrel-aged-wisdom to the infamous clobber passages and these seemingly new struggles in the church.Previously, he served pastorates at Dolores Street Baptist Church in San Franciso and the First Baptist Church of Granville, Ohio. In addition to his ministerial training, he holds a Ph. D. in religion and psychology from the Graduate Theological Union and worked for many years as a psychotherapist and adjunct faculty at Holy Names College (Oakland), Pacific School of Religion (Berkeley) and Saybrook Graduate School in Humanistic Psychology (San Francisco.) Daniel Kirk has been on a long journey whose first steps came with trying to figure out how to love his gay (non-Christian) neighbor as his straight self. While several of the clobber passages were mere adornments on along the way, a couple put up significant roadblocks. Unsurprisingly, those final roadblocks were cleared in tandem with his parting of ways with Fuller seminary this past year. Daniel is writing an ebook about his journey to becoming an open and affirming evangelical New Testament professor that should be available soon. A fuller treatment is in the works, walking through how we can say yes to the work of God in the lives of our same-sex partnered sisters and brothers, affirm the place of scripture in the church, and say no to the passages that condemn same-sex intercourse. Expect to see Gender, Race, Sex, and Power in 2017. Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community. Learn more about your ad choices.
